Our family of five wanted a day on the water and to catch some fish. We caught 12-15 Mackerel (I stopped counting after awhile) then Captain Richie changed out the tackle for some shark fishing. Fifteen minutes later it got real. First my son battled for 20 minutes and then passed it off to me. I only lasted 15 minutes, maybe, and had to give it back to him. When the fight was over, 45 minutes later, we had the greatest, up close view of a 13’, 800 pound tiger shark. My arms are still shaking 4 hours later. Captain Richie delivered on some great memories for our family. We will see him again on our next trip to Gulf Shores.
